DORMITORY
TO BE BUILT
WILL HOUSE BOTH MEN, WOMEN UNDER SAME ROOF AT COST OF $4,500
NO ALCOHOL, TOBACCO OR OBSCENITIES TO BE ALLOWED
Because students need on-campus housing, the university will open a dormitory at the comer of McClintock Avenue and 35th Street next fall, said President Marion Bovard.
The site will be purchased by William Hodge, a carpenter, who said he would help in construction.
The dormitory is estimated to cost $4,500 and will shelter 25 students of both sexes.
Women will live upstairs with a house mother and men will stay downstairs under the authority of a faculty member.
"College students are mature young adults with good moral judgment,” Bovard said. "I foresee no problems in having these boys and girls living together under the same roof.”
But Bovard also said the dormitory will be strictly regulated. "Lights out by ten,” he said. "Alcohol, tobacco, firearms, card games and obscene language will not be tolerated.”
Dormitory life will allow students to experience college fully. Bovard said.
"We’ll always be at school so we can really get involved,” said Pauline Mish, who wants to move into the dormitory next year.
Mish said she hopes the dormitory will plan many activities.
"We can have boating parties at Echo Park on moonlit nights. Then we can come home, tired and hungry, to a roaring campfire,” she said.
Bovard said dormitory residents should encourage their parents to visit often. He cautioned parents, however, that they should not plan to give their children large amounts of money.
"Entrust the money to a faculty member or to a friend. Encourage economy in every possible way. Money uselessly spent is worse than money wasted,” he said.
The university has set room and board for the new dormitory at $5 a week.
Backstand suggested that anyone denied housing should contact local residents.
MAXIMS GOVERN CONDUCT
NO FIREARMS OR SHOOTING OF RABBITS
Behavior of students shall be circumspect, warned school officials as they set forth a list of stringent rules and regulations governing the activites of students.
There will be no cussing, profanity or loud and ungentle-manly behavior in the college building.
There will be no rabbit-shooting from street cars.
No firearms will be worn on campus.
No student will be absent from his room later than 10 p.m. The only exception, said school officials, would be to attend to the sick and infirmed.
It is prohibited to contract a debt without the consent of parents or school authorities.
There will be no card-playing and/or gambling.
There will be no visits to the gambling establishment or to the red-light district.
Students will be expected to toe the mark, school officials said. Parents can rest assured that scarcely anywhere else in Christendom will the behavior of their children be as strictly molded along the tenets of God and a goodly society.
OUR UNIVERSITY — Old college stands as first building on our growing university campus. Administrators are worried about overcrowding and have limited enrollment to 100.
VICE FIGHT
JUDGE TO RID PARK OF DOG, BIKE RACING
•Judge William Bowers, who teaches Sunday school at a Methodist church near the university, has vowed to lead all God-fearing citizens in the fight to rid Agriculture Park, known also as Exposition Park, of its scandalous character.
Exposition Park is well known for attracting the tougher sporting set as it conducts scurrilous activities within its green, such as dog and bicycle racing, gambling and saloon frequenting.
Bowers recounted to this reporter that he first became interested in the park when he discovered many of his young Sunday School boys exhibiting unaccountable behavior, such as extreme restlessness during class and increasing absences without parental consent. Bowers decided to follow his students after lessons one Sunday morning only to discover them hurrying towards the park.
"I found the place to be without doubt the worst of its type in Los Angeles County. There was cursing, gambling and women and open saloons in conjunction,” cried Bowers. Rabbits were let loose from cages with dogs to follow them afterwards. To conduct this cruel exercise, the judge added, young neighborhood children were used.
The judge implored all decent citizens of Los Angeles County and the honorable student body of this university as well to avoid this area and aid in removing this blight on the community.

HORSE CAR
VEHICLE JUMPS TRACK IN STORM, BOGS DOWN IN MUD
YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN UP ALL NIGHT AWAITING RESCUE
Four men and two University young women spent last Thursday night in the horse car on Figueroa Street after it came off the track during a rainstorm and became stuck in the mud.
The accident occurred during the last run of the car, as the students were returning from the opera.
Clyde Oglethorpe, one of the students involved, said it had been raining "dreadfully hard” and the car was going very fast when it suddenly rode up on the horse, jumped off the track
QUILT BID UNCOVERED IN AUCTION
"Do I hear ten, do I hear ten? Ten dollars to the gentleman in the bowler hat. Ten going once, twice, do I hear ten and a quarter? Yes, ten and a quarter from the three gentlemen in the back.”
A gathering of almost 50 people crowded on the steps of the Old College Building to watch the auctioning of Thelma Mondale’s hand-stitched quilt. It was a gala social event if there ever was one.
When three loyal * Trojans learned that proceeds from the auction were going to the university, they set their minds on strategically betting in order that they may fatten up the university’s treasury.
What ihey didn’t set their minds on was walking away with Thelma’s quilt.
The three felt safe in their bets because they heard law student James Brandt had intended to bid on the quilt and present it to his sweetheart accompanying a formal marriage proposal.
Unbeknownst to them, Brandt had skipped the morning’s literature lecture to attend the Agricultural (Exposition) Park horse races.
Brandt’s auctioning money had dwindled down to almost nothing after he lost an odds-on bet on the favorite Menelieus.
But Menelieus wasn’t the only one that couldn’t pay off that day.
The three students who had outbid Brandt had little more than $4 between them, leaving them $6.25 short of what they needed to pay for the quilt.
"We never had any intention of buying the quilt, we just wanted to increase the amount
and careened off into two feet of
mud.
The gallant young men climbed out of the car and tried to push it back on the track, but all they received for their stalwart efforts was mud up to their knees and a solid drenching in the downpour.
As it was past 11 p.m. and raining so hard that the possibility of another car coming along was inded remote. The nearest home seemed to be Newman ranch, a good walk in two feet of mud.
The young women, Martha Pickens and Mabel Sykes, said they were not afraid because they knew they were in the company of fine young men of good background. They were, however, terribly worried about what their matrons would think.
In order to avoid any scandal. Tucker had the excellent foresight to have the gentlemen spend the rest of the evening on the roof of the car. leaving the women in the privacy of the car’s interior.
Elbert Winnamuck, another young man on the ill-fated excursion, said the rains continued to fall for the rest of the night and the men entertained themselves by playing charades and debating the virtues of chivalry while huddling under an old horse blanket that Tucker gave them. Tucker and the horse. Traveller, spent the evening sloshing through the mud towards Newman ranch, where they found assistance and rescued the young people by daybreak.
It is not known how the young women spent their evening as they were taken with the fiu and were in no condition for comment. It is known however, that their sweethearts, neither of whom were on the trip, were very concerned.
of money the university would get from the fundraiser," one of the students said.
The matter was immediately brought to President Marion Bovard.
Bovard, who sympathized with the students because of their good intentions, decided to only issue a mild punishment.
"Since you gentlemen are so concerned with the amount of money the university earns through fundraising, you will be in charge of organizing all the rest of the fundraisers for the balance of this year,” Bovard said.
